CSS tweaks
You can also tweak the layout by using the following
table.imgtable
This governs the table properties around the MagicToolbox images and can be added to your main css file.
You can also tweak the style of the thumbnails but this is carried out through vsadmin/includes.asp:
thumbnailstyle="width:75px;padding:3px;margin:3px;border: 1px solid #ccc;"
or through vsadmin/includes.php with the addition of:
$thumbnailstyle="width:75px;padding:3px;margin:3px;border: 1px solid #ccc;";
Troubleshooting
- To remove the red "Please upgrade" text, you will need to buy a license from Magic Toolbox.
